Hamam World

Stay in the Hamam 

A stay in the hamam (hamam tour) consists of 2 areas: The cleansing & sweating area (wet area) and the resting area (dry area). During the bathing ritual in the aquabasilea hamam you pass through various stations.

 

You start with a visit to the mild steam bath "Sogukluk". The body gently gets used to the warm temperatures and the sweat glands begin to work. This is followed by the "Kese" peeling. This is a body cleansing with a peeling glove. By rubbing with the peeling glove (without soap), the dead skin cells are removed. This treatment stimulates the blood circulation and the natural repair programme of the skin. The next station, the "Sicaklik", involves relaxing in the Relaxpool. This is followed by a short resting phase on warming couches (hot stone) or with alternating warm foot baths. Give your muscles a break and leave your everyday life behind. In order to further increase sweat production and purification/detoxification, the warmer steam bath "Bingül" follows. During deep breaths, the guest allows the soothing warmth to take effect on body and mind. To care for the skin, it is then rubbed in or off in the "Lif" with the exfoliating glove and a natural soap (e.g. oil soap). Another visit to the warm relaxation pool is followed by another resting phase (heat bench/foot bath).
